Explosive deaths in Dust would be as bad or worse than headshots, I'd think. I know the bodies don't render as being blown apart, but in reality they would be.
If I had to say at exactly what point the transfer happens, it's when the interior body-glove (underneath the armor) is penetrated. So with a headshot we'd have to assume that when the bullet enters the inner-helmet lining, it triggers the same response as when the EVE capsule is breached. Somewhere in the intervening fractions of a second from passing through the helmet to penetrating the skull and finally entering the brain, the transfer most likely occurs.
Could a scan happen that fast? Probably not, but chalk it up to sci-fi magic.
That actually makes sense within the logic of the Eve lore. The body glove would be the detector itself.
That has potential for lots of comedy though, hehehe. Imagine a merc going about it's business, accidentally pulls a wee too hard the body glove, causing a rip (assuming the body glove is not that strong, which I imagine shouldn't be the case), BAM, accidental death, hehehehehe. |

Well it can happen, the scan is like the flash of a camera, and the flashes are faster than the bullets, meaning that when the bullet breaches the helmet of a clone, while it's destroying layer after layer of the armor the scan process will take the picture of your brain, killing you instantly and moving "you" to another clone.
The system is very sensitive at preserving the life of a clone, even the smallest and insignificant fracture in the hull of an EVE capsule will trigger the scan process in less than a second.
What if a light-based weapon penetrates the inner-lining?
Seriously, I'm wondering. I guess the scan is still possible in the time it takes the energy beam to burn through the skull, but wouldn't all that electromagnetic energy around the brain create interference with the scan?

Hopefully CCP will clarify wether head shots negate the use of hives or not. Quite useful tactical info. Although it is already instinct to attempt to aim at the head for some. Achieving the head shot is a reward in and of itself. ^^
This just made me wonder: if the bodysuit's sealed against all intrusion to the point that any breach of said suit means instant death for the wearer...
How does a mercenary use the bathroom? Any hose leading out of the suit could be exploited by an enemy to kill the wearer without breaching the suit, thereby bypassing the automatic scan.
